Boca Maldita

The Boca Maldita (it is hard to translate, but I would say that it is close to "Accursed Mouth") is a spot at Luiz Xavier avenue, close to Osorio square, established in 1957 and institutionalized on December 13, 1966.

At this place, politicians, intelectuals and people in general (mainly old fellows), stop by for a coffee and talking with friends. It is said to be "accursed" because everything is subject to be severely criticised over there.

Powerful and sexist, The Boca Maldita is famous since the forfeiture of the State Governor Harold Leon Peres in the 70's. This event was due to its members (as it is told in the streets).Its motto is "I see nothing, I hear nothing, I speak nothing."

Quem sou eu

Welcome. My name is Washington. I was not born in Curitiba, but I am a Curitibano by adoption. I live in Curitiba since 1978 and I have witnessed how much this city has changed since than. I have no intention to post technically relevant pictures, but just share pictures of a city that welcomed me and my family so weel.
